San Juan's La Concha Resort hits major milestone with Suite Tower renovation done
San Juan beachfront resort La Concha has nearly completed a $80.2 million renovation, highlighted by a reimagined Suite Tower with 238 redesigned rooms.
The completed work marks La Concha's official transition to Marriott International's Autograph Collection, the resort said. The resort previously was branded as a Renaissance, another Marriott brand.

Celano Design's redone accommodations include suites with marble flooring, residential-style bathrooms, balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping ocean views. Suites have a "soothing color palette of whites, bone, gray and teal, evoking the tropical-modern aesthetic that La Concha Resort is renowned for," the resort said. A polished stainless steel bar cart in the suite offers guests rum, beverages and snacks.
La Concha said a new cocktail program at the renovated lobby bar "invites guests to personalize their cocktails by choosing from five distinct infusions and selecting a unique creation based on their mood, whether it's adventurous, passionate, social, introvert or life of the party."

Culinary offerings also have been transformed as part of the renovation. Levant, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant led by Michelin-starred chef Michael White, opened in March within the resort's iconic shell-shaped structure. Tekka Bar serves handrolls and sake in the hotel's lobby. A new three-meal restaurant, AQA Oceanfront, is slated to open this summer. Ballroom renovations are expected to finish later this fall.
The wellness experience at La Concha was elevated with the opening of Elemara Spa & Salon late last year.
The property is also home to Casino del Mar, Puerto Rico's first BetMGM Sportsbook, and the Fifty Eight Nightclub.
